The "Cloth of Gold Series" was published in 1880-1881. The "Little
Picture Series" was published in 1880-1882. The name was changed to the
"Little People's Series" in 1883 and to the "Snowy Day Series" in 1884.
There is no indication within the books to which series a format
belongs. These series came in boxed sets originally and the box stated
the series name. I have not seen any of the boxed sets at this time.
Format of the books:
Cloth. Various colors. All have various black line drawn decorations or
illustrations on the front cover which surround a non book specific
appliqué. 16 mo (The books of the All Picture Series were 32 mo.)
